Border police intercept 10 pistols in hearse

THE Zimbabwean police at Beitbridge yesterday intercepted a consignment of guns being smuggled into the country in a Chipinge-bound hearse that was carrying a cavader.

Four men, who were among the mourners and the crew transporting the hearse, were arrested at the Port Health Authority Bay at the Beitbridge Border Post, where the discovery was made during a routine inspection.

A team of plainclothes policemen combed the hearse and every item in it after the discovery.
